Watch the trials master tackle one of his most challenging trails to date

This latest Jeff Lenosky Trail Boss episode comes from Loyce C. Harpe Park near Lakeland, Florida. It’s a place Lenosky calls one of his favorite places to ride in the Sunshine State.

“One day a week the trails at [the area’s more common name] Carter Road run in reverse,” explains Lenosky. “Follow along as I try to ride the infamous 3 Fingers backwards. This was one of my most challenging trails to date.”

A veteran rider with a 20-year professional career and three Observed Trials U.S. National Championships to his name, Lenosky uses his skills to ride the unrideable in Trail Boss. When you ride an entire trail you may feel like a Boss, but without the proper skills Mother Nature can quickly remind you who’s really in charge. This video series explores some of the most technical trials around and provides tips so you can become a Trail Boss, too.

Rather than pure physical endurance, conquering short, steep climbs typically requires proper technique and finesse. Press play to see Lenosky take you through his key tips for tackling punchy climbs.
